IMIQUIMOD (ALDARA)
This is a cream treatment that can be used to treat precancerous conditions such as squamous cell carcinoma in-situ (
actinic keratosis and
Bowen’s disease), but also a specific type of
skin cancer called superficial
basal cell carcinoma and viral infections such as viral warts and genital warts.
This cream stimulates our own immune system to create an immune response aimed at killing cancer (or virus-infected) cells. This generally leads to an inflammatory response that may include redness, swelling and crusting which is a normal reaction to this treatment.
